Eahora Romeo - Full eBike Review
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2023
- At almost 125 lbs in weight, the Eahora Romeo is a beast of an ebike. It has a very powerful motor for speed, a high capacity battery for long range, and 4" fat tires to roll over obstacles in the road. But is it fun to ride? In this video, Kelly, Kris and Wesley from As The Crow Flies @wesleymohawk ride this bike extensively and tell you the good, the bad and the downright amazing things about it. If you are considering an ebike and don't need one that easily fits onto a bike rack, the Eahora Romeo is a very interesting option.

I've had my Romeo for about nine months now, got one of the first production bikes.I've made a few changes that address the few issues I had. I'm tall, but like a slightly sporty forward lean when riding, so I replaced the bars with ones with more sweep back,and flipped them...sort of a sport bike setup... and then mounted an Ebay bikini fairing. Top speed went up about 5 mph. You can go into the settings and adjust how aggressively the bike will accelerate, and adjust the wheel diameter to get a more accurate speed readout.
I get lots of questions, and the "eighty plus miles of range" answer seems to impress a lot of people.
The frame is TIG welded steel, which makes me more confident that the frame will hold up. long term. Pull the battery out to put the bike on a rack, or load it into a van.
You can raise the seat using spacers and "barrel nuts" on the seat studs, but only about an inch. You can also buy and mount shorter crank arms, which means your knees don't come quite so high when pedaling.You can mount the tail light on spacers, to get it out from under the seat (if you back off the rear spring preload for a lower seat height and more supple street ride, the fender may hit the tail light on a big pothole. The spacers help) I found the bike rides best on the street with the front shock rebound damping cranked up, and the preload about in the middle. Rear preload backed off most of the way.
Bed the brakes (lots of online tutorials on how) That makes a big difference in stopping power, I can almost do a nosie with mine now.
The Romeo is , in practical terms, an electric moped, a "pedelec". Poking along on bike trails in PAS 1 at ten or so mph doesn't seem to bother people, but it's best as a suburban/city commuter, covering distance at speeds a roadie will envy. My trip average speed (on the display) is typically 25-27 mph,thirty mile trips are easy. At that point, you start to wish the seat was softer.
Wow! Great stuff. Thanks for the tip about raising the seat with some spacers and barrel nuts. I might have to do that!
I'm looking into going tubeless motorcycle tires on my pro. Have you done anything on this subject?
Just got one...black and there are new upgrades. Throttle grip new brake light and fender support braces.
Im 100% pulling the seat and having new material inside seat.
I’m glad someone made an actual review on this bike.
Great job on the review Kelly 👍👍
Thanks for watching
I have the Eahora Azaria and I love it. I did swap out the mechanical brakes for after-market hydraulics. Romeo looks like a monster.
It is a monster, but very fun to ride. Thanks for the comment.
What hydronic brakes did you get? I’ve been looking at some but don’t know what to get
I love EBIKES, They make riding a lot easier, Which is a good thing for us older persons. Good to see Kelly didn't crash as the weight of the bike would leave a mark. #chaseyoudown
😂 Trevor, I know you were nervous about him crashing. We thought of you when creating the thumbnail. 😄
Hello, I have the Romeo pro version and the speedometer shows 10 when I go at 30 miles per hour. I would also like to know how to reach 37 miles per hour because I have a 1200 w engine and I can’t do more than 31 miles per hour in speed.
If i ride on lowest settings and try to maintain 15 mph do you think ill still get in trouble on some trails that dont allow "motor bikes" over 30mph?
any idea what speed magnetic and boost sensity does in the settings if changing the values ?
I have this bike and I am over 300 Lbs and its rides amazingly. I got it up to 30MPH. I can ride the hills in my city with ease. I have Severe anxiety so I don't drive and this bike allows me to get around (I feel more comfortable on 2 wheels than in a car)
How safe are the batteries in these things? I keep hearing about ebike battery fires.
I’m 6,5 36 inch inseam. I’m buying the Aniioki because it’s 52 volt. Adjustable seat. Excellent customer service so far. I noticed you rode wompiconcus with your outer feet pitched down. Knees hitting your face almost. Give an honest tall man revue. Don’t suck up. It’s awsome for the 26 inch wheels I’ll give it that. If Aniioki builds a 26 I’ll buy it as well.
Thanks for the comment Bill. Did you watch the entire review? While I said that I like the bike, I said several times that it's NOT good for tall people like you and me. Hope you enjoy the Aniioki and have a Merry Christmas!
Is this bike suitable for a person with a height of 178 cm and a weight of 100 kg? Thank you
It woudl be perfect for someone that size. It's not great for taller people.
Thank you so much for this review. I am 6'3 and I see you mentioned if over six foot get the sister bike. How tall are you?
Around 6'1"
How's the front suspension? How many km in one charge? Is the speedometer accurate? What's your top speed?
feels like $150 fork - so just alright, but the rear shock is stiff, thus it feels a bit unbalanced on jumps or over rocky terrain when the front isn’t maxed on compression stiffness. without any pedaling at 50kph (35-odd kph avg. with stops), over mostly flat terrain with some extended up and down steep hills, i got around 100km with about 12% remaining according to the display. and finally as for the speedometer and top speed, the speedometer is very accurate, and the top speed for me on a full charge as a 61kg 177cm individual (fairly small frame, so low drag) was around 54-56kph, but i’m fairly certain that’s because the motor at this voltage can’t spin any faster.
You are right in saying that Romeo is not very good at pedaling. That is why I bought the Juiet. I use a fat tire rear rack on my car and the Juliet can be loaded and offloaded easily. You just roll the front wheel onto the bike rack grab the rear rack and lift onto the bike rack. The romeo is a nice well-built bike, but that seat looks a little hard for long rides.
Juliet can be loaded 😂😂😂
Yeah - I think the Juliet is probably more like riding an actual bike, where Romeo is more like riding a motorized dirt bike!
This bike is 127 pounds. For the people who have to walk upstairs to get into their place. Let me get it first I will let you know how easy or hard it is to bring it up and downstairs.
Probably not great for taking upstairs
I'm on the third floor and yes it's bone breaking to get that thing up to the third floor.
Best way to do it is to take your time and have plenty of patience and move slowly and anchor yourself on every step.
I have a Romeo pro for 5 months now few things I can say is the speed is very dependent for zero reason at high battery I will hit 32-33 mph but sometimes times about 1/80 of a time I hit 35-36 mph basically never happens just sometimes and sometimes not at all in a full charged cycle I’ve tried contacting eahora about why this is happening and how I can do 35 mph steady but they couldn’t help me both brakes now don’t work I’ve tried to contact eahora and they couldn’t help and told me to get it repaired at a shop while my warranty is still young I’ve tried to change around the settings but nothing works sometimes I wonder if they gave me regular version instead of the pro version motor I checked and looked at the inside and saw that the controller says “ 30 amp” but there has been cases were Chinese companies lied about motor and controller watts and amps. They only good thing I can say is it takes me everywhere in my city everyday using throttle to go to school, work, and gym and only have to charge it once a week gets lots of range at only throttle if there was a way to change this restriction of going slower and being able to go 35 mph at all times then maybe cars wouldn’t have to go around me all the time
Great review, but on the safe side, I think the cars shouldn't have to go around you, but rather, you around the cars. 🙂
I've had mine for about 4 days now and I'm loving it....every bit of it! And FYI for anyone who does has one, the power of this amazing bike MUST I mean MUST be respected, or you can definitely hurt yourself because its a very heavy bike. But the motor on this baby offsets any weight issue pertaining to this bike.
Once again, its a great ebike.
Have you tried identifying as a car?
@@RantTherapist gulp
This was a very well done review. I ended up ordering the Juliet instead because it comes with a rear rack (that is bigger and holds more than the Romeo add on rack), has an adjustable seat, and looks more like a bike than a motorcycle -- not that anyone should confuse a Romeo with a Sur Ron or something, but the Juliet is less likely to get me stares on a bike trail or attract the eyes of a cop -- these things go too fast for class 2, and have a throttle, which stupidly makes them not class 3 either, so they aren't *technically* legal (but again, this isn't a freaking Sur Ron either). The Juliet is also $400 cheaper than the Romeo and $600 cheaper than the Romeo Pro, so there is that too. I kind of wish the Juliet had the same display as the Romeo that shows battery percentage and generally looks like nicer software, but oh well.
I agree that the Juliet is probably more "stealth" than the Romeo. And I think Juliet would be better for tall people. Hope you are enjoying it!
From what I read on their website for the bike, both the Romeo and Juliet max rider weight is 330 lbs.
Yeah, weight is not a problem for me. I just think the seat on the Romeo is a bit too low for my height. I kinda wish I had gotten the Juliet instead.
I dig the 26" wheels! I have a motorcycle style e bike, 20" tires, i wish the seat was a bit higher, how high is the seat? This may be my nxt ebike
The seat is low. It’s not great for taller people
What’s the battery life on it and what’s the price on a new battery
I'm glad you put Kris to work and he finally helped you put something together! Interesting bike, but too heavy for me!!! #chaseyoudown
😅
Thanks Michael. It's really more of a scooter than a bike...but it does have pedals, so you can sort-of get some exercise!
I have the Juliet and i cant fir the life of me get it over 30miles an hour, any tips maybe on the settings ?
Hmmm...I didn't have to change any settings other than putting it in PA 5. The 39mph was on a slight down hill, so that might be part of the difference. What do you think of the Juliet (other than the speed)?
@@readysetdrone love the bike, I'm replacing the throttle with a push throttle changing the grips and possibly the tires cause they not really good tires
I still want to know what cells are in the battery
Cool
comparing to the ARIEL KEPLER which would you guys buy prefer i know its subjective on looks but what you guys think
The seat looks a bit higher up. If you're around 6ft or taller, that might be something to consider. As mentioned in our video, the Romero's seat height is low, and not adjustable.
I can modify the seat on the agora no problem but speed wise am concerned about but the Kepler faster but a hard tail so trying to decide
It seems you can add longer rear shocks to increase the height and better suspension
Interesting idea
Pretty cool looking bike.
2:00 cool looking background
Hive Mind... must be Studio Bee 😊
Have you ever GPS verified the top speed, trying to figure out how they get a bike that heavy to do 37mph with only 1450w +/-, unless the motor is all top end. Can it climb?
My display read about the
My display read about three mph fast compared to my GPS speedo app. I was able to fix that in the hidden settings.
I would like to know how I can adjust the speedometer on the screen because it only shows me 6 miles when my GPS shows 30. Thank you.
I really like the drone footage. With my bad back I think the Juliette would be better for me. It looks more step thru friendly. Thumbs up for the video and the bike!!
Thanks!
Can you review the Eahora ACE? Eahora seems like a great brand and I am considering buying the ACE
Man I would love to, but gotta go with whatever they send me. My biggest advice on these heavy ebikes is to make sure to get hydraulic disk brakes - I have ridden a few with mechanical disk brakes and they don't stop as well. You really need hydraulic to stop a bike that heavy. Have fun and ride safe!
Was that 37mph downhill. If so how much of a downhill?
The opening sequence was on a long and gradual downhill slope. Not much slope, but enough to pick up some speed.
Howdy Kelly. Wow, talk about one beefy eBike! Heck, I thought my Evelo eBike was heavy at 65lbs, LOL. This sure looks like an excellent and well built bike especially for the price. Very Cool!
What colour is that plz?
That was the black.
will you sell it?
Below Kelly's video is a link to the Eahora Romeo Pro.@@urbansafari147
Where's the Flux capacitor???
man if the made a dual motor version of this id be buying
It's so good it doesn't need a dual motor. It's that dam good and powerful. It can keep up with anything on the streets...including driving amongst cars.
It really is pretty crazy fast for a single motor. I think a dual motor would help with steep hills (I live in a very hilly neighborhood), but it still trucks my fat ass up those hills with just 1 motor!
They just came out with one
As a 6'4 25yo, I just stand slightly to pedal, it makes it easier to fall into the pedal rotation, especially going uphill, and leaning forward while stand pedaling makes you go like 40mph, I went 47mph downhill.
B
Dang - I would be terrified at 47 MPH!!!
At 5ft5in, I'm not sure I'm tall enough for this bike, even though I've been seriously considering it.
The guy riding at the beginning of the video is about that tall. I think it’s better for shorter people than taller people
Is it legal to drive that bicycle on the street without a license?
Yes, in neighborhoods and anywhere you would ride a bike. But not on major roads or highways.
Have had my Romeo pro 6 months now,1731 miles on it and need full brakes replacement and rotors as well, 2 weeks now with no response from Eahora about this and under warranty! Bullshit!
Love mine, I don’t have license so now I’m independent again, what what!
I heard the batteries explode and burn up everything in sight.
Only if you push the wrong button...
9:34 Haha! Wesley doesn't need brakes! lol
Nice hidden hashtag.

@@chriswedgworth oh in that case I'd be afraid.. very, very afraid... that you were incorrect, silly. 😜
Так хорошо сделали демонстрацию, что в этом году желаю от вас его получить в качестве подарка.
Customer Service from another country is BRUTAL..Once they have your money..that's it..they don't know you anymore..
Really, I have had many things from other countries and the few times I needed to reach out to customer service I was helped promptly with no hassle, a few questions to ascertain the problem and then told they would ship the part I needed to me no charge.
This is true but most of we seas company also depends there business on customer reviews. So most of them are not shady .
Same reviews on the pro
I've had mixed experiences. I just received handlebars with the bold heading of 780mm width. Received 620mm width. Chinese sales guy is currently trying to gaslight the hell out of me claiming 780 means 620!
Eahora customer service is awesome now. No worries. I emailed them and they are fully focused on customer needs now.
Kelly, nice bike, but, I agree, very heavy. The Eahora Romeo, according to an ebike definition, is not really an ebike, which would be a class 1,2, or 3, with a class 2 with throttle having a max battery power of 750 watts and capability of a maximum of 28 mph. The Romeo, appears to be a Class 4, which is really not an ebike, but closer to a moped. Class 4 bikes have no speed limit, and have over a 750 watt motor. Great review! #chasyoudown
Thanks Mike. The classes of e-bikes are definitely something to consider.
The Romeo has nice lines, perhaps it should be made out of a lighter material, Weight has an impact on the battery life.....I see this as it`s only downside.
It's VERY heavy, but looks cool and is fun to ride. Not great for tall people though...
Xunder👌👌
Nice, its this or the Wired freedom for me....saving up for one of them.
Why should I buy an Aventon when I can buy this? Mmmm.
i like the way it looks just big wheels lol
Agreed!
I think this bike will not make up 40% gravel hills
Got it, assembled it and it was defective from day 1. Wouldn't turn on. No footprint in Canada, no service in Canada, no warenty in Canada. Best they could offer was to assist in troubleshooting from China.!! I am not a tech. So sent it back and got my money back. Lucky for me Amazon has a A-Z guarantee. Poor communications with the Co. Never again.
Man. Sorry to hear that. I did have some trouble with the headlight. When you say defective, was it the motor? I'm curious why they didn't just send you the part that wasn't working. Anyway, thanks for watching. Don't give up on eBikes - there are some good ones out there!
@@readysetdrone Defective in that it could have been 1 of 3 things, either the display was defective, or the wiring harness or the controller. Yes Exactly, they played me for a month with poor communications and never offered to just send all three. So much for Quality control. Lesson learned: Buy local. But I did some research and learned a few things about Amazon, third party sellers, foreign entities and their methods.
Your 37mph was when you were going down a small hill. Sort of misleading, but nice review otherwise.
You have illegally altered the speed safety features on this bike and it is now illegal to drive on public roads. You are setting a horrible example for minors and children, who are watching this and planning on doing the same thing to their bikes
This is unaltered. I wouldn't even know how to change anything to make it go faster.
Everyone is unlocking the speed so deal with it John 😂
@hankm16 so if "everyone" is doing it it's okay? That's the argument of a child
@@hankm16ignore him he’s literally in every video from every creator copying and pasting this garbage.
Haha..is this a joke? If not, wow, fun dude eh.
I have not seeing it fly and so it is time to go and unsubscribe I guess. That is not my content anymore and those bike are forbidden here cause you need to paddle it up to 45 km / h. That is just a simple electric motorcycle and 60 kg is what ?
60 kg will a lot way to stop on top.
But main point : this channel was about drones, seriously and over time it lost the roots and focus
bye
Great job like 76
